Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS®).

To help reduce the likelihood or severity of a frontal impact, the CMBS® is engineered to apply brake pressure if you don’t slow down when it senses you’re at risk of a collision. If it still senses an imminent collision, CMBS®). is designed to brake firmly.

U.S. Honda Pilot model is shown for illustrative purposes only.

Forward Collision Warning (FCW).

The available FCW system is integrated with CMBS® and designed to detect the presence of vehicles in front of you, issuing alerts if you’re approaching with too much speed. If you fail to respond to the alerts, CMBS® is triggered into operation.

U.S. Honda Pilot model is shown for illustrative purposes only.

Lane Keeping Assist (LKAS).

The available LKAS is engineered to gently correct your steering if you begin to leave a detected lane without signaling, applying torque progressively to the steering to help guide you back to the centre of the lane.

U.S. Honda Pilot model is shown for illustrative purposes only.

Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM).

The available RDM system is designed to help steer and even apply the brakes to help keep the vehicle from leaving the road.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW).

The available LDW system is designed to monitor vehicle lane position and alert you when your vehicle drifts into a newly detected lane when you haven’t signaled.

Keep more of your right side in sight with available Honda LaneWatch™ blind spot display. It’s engineered to send a live video feed from a camera mounted under your passenger-side mirror to your Display Audio System, providing close to four times more visibility than a side view mirror alone.

Available Blind Spot Information (BSI) system.

The available Blind Spot Information (BSI) system with Rear Cross Traffic Monitor is engineered to use radar-based indicator lights to notify you of vehicles entering either blind spot during lane changes, and displays an alert on the 7″ Display Audio System screen when a vehicle is detected crossing your path on either side as you are reversing.

The 2018 CR-V has everyone’s needs in mind. It comes with two available rear 2.5-amp USB ports to ensure your passenger’s phones are charged and ready to go.

Safety

Controlled Braking.

To assist with safe stopping, the 4-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is designed to help you maintain control under hard braking conditions, while Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) helps to optimize braking power based on weight distribution inside the vehicle. In addition, Brake Assist is engineered to help improve braking performance by applying brake pressure when a panic stop is detected.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

To promote enhanced safety and fuel efficiency, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System continually checks the air pressure in each tire. If pressure drops in any one tire, the driver receives a dashboard alert.

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®) with Traction Control

Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control is designed to sense and help correct oversteer and understeer scenarios to enhance handling and cornering stability, while Traction Control is designed to minimize wheel spin when accelerating on loose or slippery surfaces, helping to inspire greater driver confidence.

If you take your foot off the brake when stopped on an incline, this feature is engineered to temporarily maintain brake pressure to help prevent your Odyssey from starting to roll backwards.

HondaLink™ Assist Automatic Emergency Response System.

The HondaLink Assist Automatic Emergency Response System helps you get the help you need when you need it most. If the airbags deploy, your Display Audio System is engineered to automatically attempt to put you on a call with an operator who will forward your location to first responders if needed. It works with any compatible Bluetooth®-paired phone as long as it has reception, does not require a subscription and gives you peace of mind while you’re on the road.

Seat belt safety.

The CR-V helps prepare you for the unexpected with 3-point height-adjustable front seat belts with automatic tensioning system and 3-point rear seat belts.

Child safety

The CR-V features childproof rear door locks, as well as rear seat Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH), which give you a simple and convenient method to install compatible child safety seats without using the vehicle’s seat belt system.

Pedestrian safety

Innovative pedestrian safety features include an energy-absorbing hood and front fenders and deformable wiper pivots.

Advanced Compatibilty Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure.

The highly innovative, next-generation Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure is engineered to help disperse frontal impact energy to enhance occupant protection, while more effectively controlling it in severe collisions, to help prevent intrusion into the passenger cabin.

Six standard airbags

The cabin of the CR-V contains six standard airbags. It features an i-SRS front airbag system, as well as side curtain airbags with rollover sensors, which are designed to deploy the side curtain airbags in the event of a rollover. Plus, it has SmartVent™ side airbags, which are designed to deploy safely in a manner that mitigates the risk of injury to out-of-position or smaller occupants.

The simple joys of complex technology.

Tech leads the way in the 2018 CR-V. It boasts features such as the Display Audio System with Apple Carplay™ / Android Auto™ to make sure your hands stay on the wheel, and the available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ with bilingual Voice Recognition so your eyes stay on the road. While you’re driving, the available Honda LaneWatch™ blind spot display (replaced by the Blind Spot Information (BSI) system with Rear Cross Traffic Monitor system on the Touring trim) acts like an extra set of eyes. And when you finally arrive, two available rear USB ports ensure your passenger’s devices are fully charged and ready to go.

Turbocharge ahead.

The 2018 CR-V doesn’t hold back on performance. The 1.5-litre, 16-valve, Direct Injection, DOHC, turbocharged 4-cylinder engine provides the CR-V with 190 horsepower and 179 lb.-ft of torque, while the continuously variable transmission (CVT) keeps it all working smoothly. It harnesses that power using the traction of available Real Time AWD™ with Intelligent Control System™ to give you a stable and confident drive, no matter the road.

SAFETY.

When it comes to passive safety—the stuff that protects you during a crash—the CR-V has scored a solid five-star safety rating from NHTSA. And in terms of active safety—the stuff that can help you avoid a crash in the first place—the CR-V’s Honda Sensing driver-assistance system, which includes lane keeping assist, active cruise control, and collision prevention and is fitted to all but the base LX model leads the segment.
